Gamers get interactive

Video game enthusiasts will get the chance to take part in free gaming workshops and hear from industry speakers in Edinburgh this week.

The Edinburgh Interactive festival kicks-off today in the Great Scottish Hall of the Radisson Blu hotel on the Royal Mile.

The two-day event will also feature games screening from Disney, Dynamo Games and Nintendo, as well as workshops on how to get into the gaming industry and how to make money from giving your game away for free.
